Can't read what's on your screen? Do you have to lean toward the monitor at the risk of straining your eyes? Never again! Now you have Alternate Font Sizer, a software that lets you enlarge the letters of Windows 10 without scaling the rest of the elements.
Microsoft's current operating system offers a font display that can be a problem for many of its users. The font size isn't as large as many of us would like, and to enlarge it you have to enlarge everything else on the system. While it used to be possible to configure this, after the Fall Creators Update update, the customization options were removed. So how can you solve this? The answer lies in Alternate Font Sizer, a software that lets you enlarge Windows 10 letters without the rest of the elements scaling along with them.
Here you can change the fonts of several elements. First, it's necessary to clarify that for this program to work you need .NET Framework 2.0 or higher, which shouldn't be a problem if you have Windows 10 because it's included.
How to enlarge Windows 10 letters
Once you download and install the program, you can use Alternate Font Sizer through a simple interface to change the fonts of the following elements: captions, icons, menus, messages, status, etc. Each element has its own size menu that is used to change the font.
You can type the new size directly or use the dropdown menu to choose a new size, but be careful not to choose values that are too small or too large. An interesting detail is that by clicking "Edit" you can also configure other values, like the height and width of the letters, among other things. The good news is that these editing options include a preview function that can be very useful for seeing the size of the letters.
Once you have everything ready, click the Apply button to confirm the changes. It's possible that you may need to restart the system before you can see the results on screen. A downside is that there is no option to restore the default values, but you have the option to save any configuration you make, so it's recommended to save a default configuration file to make reverting easier if you're not satisfied with the changes.
You can also use Alternate Font Sizer with other versions of Windows, although it wouldn't make much sense since those systems include the default settings. Developed by Alternate Tools, Alternate Font Sizer is software that is available for free download on Windows.
